Queens University Belfast Seidokan Club

 

I've never done any martial arts before - will that be a problem?
No.  We have an 'open door' policy in the Club - new members join throughout the year.

What do I wear?
An old tee-shirt and track suit bottoms/shorts is fine for beginners. 

I have done martial arts before - do I have to start at the beginning?
We welcome people of different martial arts backgrounds - you will be welcomed ito our Club at your current level of achievement.

What does a typical class consist of?
There is no typical class!  Quite often our instructors ask what the majority of people at the session would like to focus on and tailor the session to suit.  You could be punching and kicking one night and grappling the next.

Is there a syllabus?
We have a full syllabus to black-belt level and beyond.  This presents a 'rapid advancement programme' for those who put in the time and effort.  People have the opportunity to work towards their black belt in Seidokan, if they so wish.

What does it cost?
Annual Club Membership = £2 to join the Club on Freshers' Day. £5 throughout the year.
Annual Association Membership = £20
Session Costs = £1 per class

Can I enter competitions?
We have a strong competition squad that enter a variety of competitions with different sets of rules (including semi-contact). You will be encouraged to enter competitions if that's what you're interested in.
